Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Temple, ME.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their addiction. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their substance abuse problem continue or worsen.

Often, clients who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their bodies decline because of the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require significant medical help once they receive drug or alcohol addiction treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical assessment to determine if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.

Substance abuse rehab for persons with HIV or AIDS in Temple includes detoxification services that are safely conducted with both the patient and the staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services persons with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other persons have the same sober goal is strongly encouraged.
